Instagram Adds Face Filters for Live Video

We're living for this.

We all have that friend who's so into face filters that when we see them in person unadorned, we can't help but feel their face is sorely lacking in whiskers. With Instagram's new update, this will no longer be the case.

A company spokesperson tells Teen Vogue that starting today, and rolling out to all users over the next couple days, you can go Live with face filters (and to see it in action, you can check out @teenvogue on Insta today). Every day is Halloween if you try hard enough, right?

Be the first of your friends to set the trend:

Open the camera on Instagram in the top left corner and toggle to LIVE.

On the bottom right corner, tap the face icon.

Pick your poison (AKA filter of choice).

You can switch up your lewk during the video, or stick to one that you've pre-chosen. The update comes as a welcome addition to their new feature to save lives (yes, the play on words does sound heroic), and re-watch videos for up to 24 hours after they air.

We love this particular update because digital makeup means saving hundreds of dollars at Sephora.
